NEVER ACCEPTED HIS FREE
DOM.
Death of Uncle Billy Toombs, q Servant
IN the Family of General 1oombs.

Death of Uncle Billy Toombs. a Servant
IN the Family of General 1oombs.
Washington, Ca. Special to Chicago Tines
To-day the body of Uncle Billy Toombs
was buried in the colored cemetery here in
the presence of large number OF the best
white citizens, IS well as of almost the en-
tire colored population. Prominent among
those present and taking personal charge
of the arrangements were the members of
the family OF the late General Robert
ToOmbs. Uncle Billy was born eighty
seven years ago, the slave of MAJOR
Toombs, and was eleven years of age when
the Majors son Robert was born. Billy
was assigned to duty as the boy in waiting
to the baby, and took great interest ia his
development. When young Mr.. Toombs
grew up and married, his father presented
him with Billy, and ever after the closest
friendship existed between the two.
Billy accom- Fanied his master to Wash
iDgton, to the fashionable watering places,
and to Europe. In this way he became
acquainted with many distinguished peo-
pie. In all the changes of lie, however,
Billy never lost his head, but was polite
and faithful to his mas ter's interests. Be-
fore the war he had an intense hatred for
the abolitionists, refusing to countenance
them III any way. When the war was
over, and the Toombs family had gathered
once more at the old family mansion
Billy returned there, too, as well as the
rest. You are free now" said Gen.
Toombs to him.
"I'll never be free from old master"
said he, but will follow you all my life"
To this Gen. TOOmbs replied: Every
well, then, Ill take care of you
Ever after this Billy was the most de-
voted of servants, looking after his mas
teT'e interests as though they we're his own.
When Gen. Toombs died two years ago he
made fall provisions for Uncle BulS's
maintenance, and no mourner at The gen.
erals grave shed warmer tears than did
the faithful African, who fingered there
long sitter the crowd had left. Uncle Billy
will be remembered as the only African
who absolutely refused to accept his free
dom.

APoiiticaI Chestnnt

The Louisville Courier-J Journal CORES
pendent has just unearthed this story con-
corning James Buchanan: "a Democrat
from Lancaster, Pa, called on President
Buchanan early in his administration, and
stated that his wife was in poor health, and
that he desired an appointment as Consul
to mild climate in order that he might
benefit his wife's health. The President
was non-committal, and the gentlemen re-
turned TO Lancaster rather depressed. In
a few weeks his wife died. About three
months later an appointment came to the
applicant to the point desired. The gem
leman was rather indignant at the tardy
manner in which The appointment came,
and sat down and indicted the following
brief but curt epistle: Mr.. President:
Your appointment is respectfully declined.

the contemporary literature of American
journalism, we have no means OF knowing.
1t is not always easy 70 say what consd-
tutes leading newspaper. Weight and
influence of editorial opinion, news eater
prise, literary qualities, circulation, noto-
riety, geographical situation, and even
sccident all have something to do vita
the matter. Ii is not difficult to name
dozens of journals that certainly belong
among the leaders; but when it comes to
filing out the list TO the exact number
specified, to deciding between the rival
claims of newspapers of nearly equal i'm
portaDce, to reckoning this newspaper into
the front seats and waving that one to a
place behind the ribbon, the task becomes
both arduous and delicate. 1t is very
much like sttemp ting to make list OF the
hundred ''best citizens" of a town. The
choice must in some case be arbitrary, and
must depend largely upon the personal in.
clinations aud point of view OF the person
or persons Entrusted with the responsible
ty of selection.
Nevertheless, the question IS rather In
teresting, and We are tempted to furnish
our correspondent with list of the hun
bred newspapers. from among the twelve
or thirteen hundred published daily in
the United States, which in our opinion
should be classed for one reason or another
as leaders In the journalistic community.
They are all printed in the English lan-
guage. They are not all to our liking.
Several of them would be comparatively
insignificant were it not for considerations
of locality. The matter OF political opin-
ion, of course, does not influence the COM
position of the list, except so far as the
weight and character OF newspapers
opinions seem to Us to eniitle 1t to a place
that it would not otherwise obtain. Here
